So the 1950s and the so called nuclear age was driven by older generation in corporation, utilities, and politicians who thought it was the next great age. The next generations were the anti-nuclear movements.

Globalization too in the 90s and 2000s, was corporations of older generation and the next generations thought it was threating and full of shite.

Still, I think your point stands as this also involves creative professionals as well as white collar workers which those didn’t.

“To Trump’s credit, it needs to be said that at least he tried,” Ariel Kahana wrote in the Hebrew-language daily Israel Hayom. "His bold willingness to unleash the United States’ tremendous firepower on Iran is tens of times preferable over the historic impotence that was shown by all of his predecessors.

“The bottom line is that Iran can and is presenting to the world a victory picture by dint of the very fact that it is still standing. Trump, for the time being, does not have a similar counter-picture of his own to show. That isn’t very good news for the Israeli people.”

Bloody heck these people need a swift head reboot. Jumping into a preemptive war of choice is not something you execute into without knowing you have an endgame, and alternatives already mapped out (not Trump’s strong suit). Further you accept the consequences once you start it, as you can’t deflect very well when a solid peace with good economics was at hand before prior.

Good luck with the polls, I hope they reflect the death and hardship this caused.

Interestingly this doesn’t even mention China’s Xi’an Freight train to Iran’s Aprin port. They have a train bypass operational.

Absolutely bullshit in a headline, but also potential mamas will probably use this often. The value in hearing your baby’s heartbeat is probably a huge reassurance to many.

Having said that, as a hardware professional, when could we see a consumer accessible mobile ultrasound? I don’t have a spare $2-5k for what they use in ambulances, but I am hoping something low res low quality is accessible in a few years. (Having just read about the open source phased array, I have new hope for many things).

No no, you should feel valued! You played, you learned, you moved on.

From Sal, it’s less that they can’t find them then they are creating a toll booth chokepoint.

This is a huge freedom of navigation issue as well as incursions into Oman territorial waters.

Nice eval and analysis. I am finding it more and more obnoxious that lemmy doesn’t seem to like true debate. Take the down votes as a good sign that you struck a possible cord of reality.

That’s all before we’ve even considered ASML’s accumulated know-how as, in Yangyuan’s words, “merely the integrator.” The company’s EUV dominance rests on a supply chain of more than 5,000 subcontractors, along with decades of high-volume manufacturing data. No amount of reverse engineering can quickly replicate that. While it’s true that Chinese firms have made real gains in adjacent equipment categories — Naura, for example, is one of the world’s top ten semi equipment vendors by revenue — lithography remains well out of reach.

It took ASML decades to do this, and while I won’t discount a genius level breakthrough, I doubt stealing and reverse engineering is going to shortcut the lead that much. I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep on the track they are that by 2035 they may finally be able to over take ASML though.

This is a great question and one that is worth diving into a bit, but not necessarily by me. There are a plethora of answers here with some insightful and some less so backgrounds. I suggest that you dig into some outside sources and potentially you can work through the complexity of the answer as history often is.

I’m sure others have some great references as well, but given this crowd I’d suggest some youtube videos. I also suggest some recently written long form articles in foreign affairs which is always good for understanding context, as well as a few books.

Book wise I recommend:

• Worlds Apart: A Documentary History of US-Iranian Relations, 1978–2018 by Malcolm Byrne and Kian Byrne offers a meticulously curated collection of declassified documents tracing pivotal moments in bilateral tensions, including the Iranian Revolution and nuclear negotiations

• Axis of Empire: A History of Iran-US Relations by Afshin Matin-Asgari examines America’s Cold War hegemony, the shah’s regime, the 1979 Revolution, and Trump-era escalations, including the 2025 US-Israel attempt at regime change in Tehran

• Iran’s Perilous Pursuit of Nuclear Weapons by David Albright uses Mossad-seized Iranian documents to detail clandestine weapons efforts, assassinations of scientists, and cyberwarfare like Stuxnet

I empathize with your off-topic comments, but I think it has much to do with the context of information today. Trump himself is trying to drive any comments of Epstein away by distraction and events. This is one paper on the topic. So many people are throwing the references in as an eye to defiance, anger, frustration, and as part of a trend. If the idiocy in charge wants to distract us, then more than ever we need to stay focused on why he wants to distract us.

That being said, it does have unintended consequences and is not necessarily the best way to handle this. However this new generation hasn’t really had a civil rights, suffrage, British tea party, or even just Arab Spring event to use as a baseline to make change in this entirely digital world now. People are still trying to figure out how to push, have a phone that causes attention distraction, live pay check to pay check, etc. Which is to say organization and protesting is still figuring itself out, so you get ‘release the files’ as a call to arms everywhere.

Going to guess this is a Windows question and you are thinking GUI. In that case I’d suggest the older https://checksumcompare.sanktuaire.com/downloads-en as it’ll do what you ask for visually.

There are a plethora of ways to do this in Linux on the CLI, TUI, and GUI, which is what most answers will likely lean towards given this community. If your apt toward that then start with https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/330933/diffing-two-directories-recursively-based-on-checksums

Baby hatches in the United States are generally called “newborn safety devices” or “newborn safety incubators.” The first known installation of baby hatches in the United States was in Arizona in approximately 2001. Known as “drawers,” the devices were installed primarily in Maricopa County, where six drawers exist at local hospitals as of May 2023. Beginning in 2016, the Indiana-based nonprofit corporation Safe Haven Baby Boxes began installing its own branded “Safe Haven Baby Boxes” in locations throughout Indiana, the first in 2016. As of April 2023, there were 153 baby hatches installed and in use in eleven states, primarily Indiana, which has nearly 100 hatches in operation. Other states with baby hatches include Ohio, Arkansas, New Mexico, Kentucky, and Florida. As of May 2023, eight additional states have enacted laws authorizing installation of baby hatches, though none have been installed.

This article is just wow!

I think we’re aligned on the core issue but with nuanced perspectives. Regulatory capture is indeed the established academic term for the phenomenon you describe, precisely capturing how agencies meant to protect public interest end up advancing industry priorities through mechanisms like the revolving doorbetween Boeing and Congress.

Where I’d argue the Starliner narrative: While Boeing’s participation provided political cover for Commercial Crew legislation, SpaceX’s 2010 Falcon 9 debut and subsequent rapid repeatability fundamentally reset industry expectations. The success of fixed-price cargo contracts demonstrated reusable rockets and rapid iteration were possible, proving cost-plus models weren’t inevitable. This technological inflection point–not Boeing’s involvement–created the political space for NASA to demand accountability in human spaceflight.

Boeing’s Starliner struggles directly stem from its post-1997 merger culture shift, where McDonnell Douglas’ profit-focused management supplanted engineering excellence. This same culture produced both the 737 MAX flaws and Starliner’s valve failures, showing how regulatory capture enabled systemic safety failures when oversight bodies delegated excessive authority to Boeing.

The breakthrough came not from Boeing’s inclusion but from SpaceX proving fixed-price development could work, breaking the cost-plus mentality that had entrenched inefficiency for decades. Had Commercial Crew relied solely on legacy contractors, the same capture cycle would likely have persisted. SpaceX’s existence changed the incentive structure, not Boeing’s participation

All valid points, and yes SpaceX is a demonstration of how privatization can be more innovative. The challenge is that the counterpoint of Boeing culture change causing things like the Starliner is about as valid when regulatory capture happens.

I’m not saying nationalizing companies would help, but a government with good oversight (which is more and more of a question under Trump) could also help.

Ah, https://github.com/IsThisMeta/zagreus interesting. Looks like it’s in a similar state as the OP, but worth tracking.

Lunasea is pretty nice, but is no longer maintained, so this might give something that will stay more up to date as arrrs change.

The problem with nzb360 is they only have a way to pay inside a Google Play ecosystem, otherwise it’s pretty limited. So for those of us who live an ungoogled life we need something else.

Based on the article they are using the 920Mhz range which would imply a 10m range if current standard continue.

So active sensors for a warehouse (or house) to cover 10m bubbles would be pretty useful. Especially when you add something like an Bluetooth/WiFi/Z-Wave/Matter/etc bridge/mesh.

There is a very scare element to this though, as these chips could easily be used nefariously too though.

Probably depends on the bank and their internal rules, but by Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), no. This stackexchange is relevant but not exact. Enough to show the point though.
